80's Music Trivia

[Timber Loftis]

Well, use the opportunity to add in Sussudio and 99 Luftballons, which should CERTAINLY have made the list! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I posted a few that I could answer elsewhere, so I leave it to Cerek to incorporate the answers to his querry.

032 Puttin on the Ritz- Taco

I'll see that Sussudio and raise you a Sledgehammer, TL [img]smile.gif[/img] Okay, not the same person, but the same... origin?

And I've got the other one too... Now, Everyone Need Ask for it, and I've already told you.

I already have a song by Phil Collins on the list. That one and Sussidio are probably my two favorites by him.

99 Luftballoons is certainly worth inclusion - since it was the only foreign language song to ever hit #1 during the 80's (to the best of my knowledge, anyway).

Well, nothing like putting your work in front of the public to find your mistakes. I accidentally listed two songs twice (Eyes Without a Face & She's a Beauty). I listed song title twice, but was thinking of two different songs. The title is "Hold Me Now" and Davros correctly guessed the first entry was by the Thompson Twins. The second entry has the phrase "hold me now" in the refrain, but it is NOT the title of the song. EEEF! So here is a revised list with new additions or changes.

Davros, shadowhound and Grojlach - you are all correct. Your answers have been added to the revised list above.

Variol - sorry dude, never heard of those guys. If they did a cover of the song, it isn't the one I'm thinking of.
